Slow start for FDA’s Sprout Safety Alliance

Two months after the announcement of its 12-month, $100,000 federal grant, the Sprout Safety Alliance has not issued any statements about its work and has not launched its website, which officials initially said would be up and running in March.

A public-private partnership formed and funded by the Food and Drug Administration, the alliance is based at the Illinois Institute of Technology’s Institute for Food Safety and Health. Alliance coordinators are Stephen Grove, manager of industry projects for IFSH, and Joy Johanson, consumer safety director for the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Nutrition (CFSAN).
